last night i had slept on the floor giving jaden the bed as i was too afraid to sleep until it got to 5am by that time jaden has already taken up the whole bed.
i woke up on the hard floor, my back in agony i rolled over standing up trying to maintain stability, jaden was still asleep in bed i walked into the bathroom to wash my face only to be greeted with my reflection, the events of last night taking over my brain. "don't tell me what to fucking do!" my face. i had bruises all over my eye. fuck.
i opened my makeup bag covering the bruise as much as i could. i ran back into the room grabbing my phone and some clothes.
fuck, i don't have any party clothes. i figured whilst jaden was still sleeping it wouldn't matter if i had left to go shopping right? i put on my fresh clothes grabbing my car keys and silently closing the door ensuring i don't wake up j.
i trotted down the stairs and into the parking lot, my car was 7 spaces away. i hopped in and started driving to the mall. the drive wasn't too long i put on some sabrina carpenter to pass time. "ok let's go" i say to myself mentally preparing for the sweaty shopping.
first i headed to h&m but no luck.
by now i must have gone to about 7 shops still finding nothing until i walked past a weird store but in the window stood the most beautiful black dress ever i immediately without thinking bought it. i was so happy. all this shopping made me sweat i went into the nearest coffee shop ordering a matcha.
"delilah?" i hear from behind me at first i thought it was some fans but no it wasn't. "harry? hi" harry was stood there with a tea in his hand "woah what happened to your face?" when he said that i felt like the world stopped shit. i must have sweated off my makeup. "delilah are you okay" harry says "yeah i just uh walked into a wall" i laughed very awkwardly. "that doesn't look like a wall bruise del-" before he could finished his sentence my phone starts ringing it was jaden of course.
shit. "was that lover boy?" harry says looking at me. "what? uh yeah he's coming tonight" i say looking slightly worried. "oh okay well ill see you tonight then?" he asks "yeah see you tonight" i walked away and back to my car with my dress.
"im back" i yell out "in the kitchen bae" jaden says i walk into the kitchen to greet him "hi baby" he says wrapping his arms around me i flinch ever so slightly he must have forgotten about last night it mabye he doesn't remember but i wasn't gonna remind him. "so party tonight? im buzzzingggg" he says i nod before walking into the bedroom i figured if im going to function tonight i need some well earned sleep. "j im gonna get some sleep okay?" i say before dozzing off.
𝟒:𝟓𝟗 loud music starts blasting in my apartment i jump up seeing jaden standing with a speaker in front of me "ahah get pranked dawg" he says i roll my eyes checking the time "im gonna start getting ready" i say hopping in the shower. when i finished up showering i blow dried my hair, put on some makeup then it was time for my favourite part, the dress. i felt so beautiful.
"you look nice baby" jaden sayed practically undressing me with his eyes. "thanks let's go or we'll be late" i say putting on my shoes.
we get to the party i texted cal to let him know i was here and he told me to meet him in the kitchen with everyone else.
"heyy lilahhh" cal saying coming to hug me. clearly jaden didn't like that he pulled me back by my waist causing cal to frown in confusion. "hey cal" i say ignoring the fact i couldn't hug him back.
"oh i see you've brung your lover boy then?" i familiar voice says, i turn to see who it was already knowing it was harry. "who's this?" jaden asked his hold on me tightening "oh jaden this is harry, harry this is lover boy yes" i introduced the two it was awkward jaden didn't say a word just shrugged. i shot harry a sympathetic smile before walking to get a drink "im getting some tequila" jaden says pulling himself a full glass i shivered in disgust i hated tequila.

"ok i'm going to mingle" is all jaden said before leaving me alone for the first time tonight. i sighed in relief finally i could talk to my friends.
"hey delilah, are you okay?" cal asks "yeah im fine cal why?" i say back confused as he never usually cares "harry said he saw you with a bruise and well now i see what he means" i nodded my head taking in what he was saying "oh yeah i just uh fell" i said laughing the alcohol hitting me "that's definitely not what you said earlier del" harry says from behind me i quickly turn stuttering "w-what oh yeah no i fell into a wall haha" i say backing myself up the alcohol was definitely taking a toll on me. "look you can talk to us about anything delilah okay?" cal said looking at me with a serious face. "i know i know, look im gonna find j ill catch up" i say stumbling out of the room.
i couldn't find j anywhere i could feel the alcohol swirling around my body my head was pulsating, i ran into the nearest bathroom upstairs luckily no one was up here. i quickly put my head into the toilet throwing up. i felt hands swoop my hair back as i gasped for air between each breath. i had finally gotten everything out of my system my hair still being pulled back by someone i had no idea who i just really appreciate them in the moment.
i sat back wiping my face. "here take this water" he says handing me a bottle i flinch as he passes it with some speed. "woah woah its ok" the voice says i look up to be greeted with harry's deep blue eyes. "im not gonna hurt you" he says i couldn't help myself i burst into tears. he just hold me in his arms as i cry. "please tell me what's going on" harry said holding me but i just couldn't tell him. "i don't know" i cried. why was it so difficult for me to tell him about jaden why am i always protecting him?
"it's okay you don't have to tell me but when your ready i'll always be here" harry says and the way he says it makes me feel so safe and secure.
